The 1995-1997 Jaguar XJ6 (X300) and XJ12 represent a pivotal chapter in the history of the iconic British marque. These models marked a significant departure from the traditionally boxy XJ design, introducing a more rounded and aerodynamic silhouette. This evolution was driven by the need for greater fuel efficiency and improved aerodynamics, while maintaining the brand's signature elegance and refinement. Under the hood, the XJ6 offered a range of powerful and refined inline-six engines, including the 3.2-liter and 4.0-liter AJ6 units, while the XJ12 maintained the exclusivity of its 6.0-liter V12. Both models were available in a variety of configurations, including the standard saloon, the luxurious Vanden Plas, and the sporty Sovereign. The X300 series also saw the introduction of new technologies such as electronic traction control and a four-wheel anti-lock braking system, further enhancing driver safety and control.

Inside, the XJ6 and XJ12 continued to be known for their lavish interiors, featuring high-quality leather upholstery, wood trim, and advanced climate control systems. The driving experience was equally refined, offering a smooth and comfortable ride, coupled with precise handling and impressive power. The X300 series' distinctive styling and luxurious appointments cemented its status as a symbol of British elegance and engineering prowess. Despite its success, the X300 XJ6 and XJ12 faced competition from German rivals, such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and the BMW 7 Series. This led to the development of the next generation, the X308, which aimed to address these challenges with significant improvements in technology, performance, and comfort. However, the X300 series remains a popular choice among enthusiasts, admired for its timeless design, refined performance, and enduring elegance.
